Jordan Chiles gets real with Bumble confession

One of the popular NIL athletes, Jordan Chiles, was introduced by Bumble Honey earlier through the caption, “Introducing Bumble’s class of 2024“. In the most recent Instagram post from Bumble and Bumble Honey, Chiles talked about her biggest struggle and did so in an entertaining, casual, chirpy, loud, lively, and most importantly, authentic way.

The Olympic silver medalist said, “I think my biggest challenge would be not being so hard on myself. And I keep telling myself over and over again like, it’s okay you don’t have to be perfect in this moment. That’s kinda my challenge right now and trying to focus on myself.” The two-time NCAA champion went from being an underdog to an Olympic highlight overnight.

Now, with a fresh perspective, she is practicing to be true to herself as she heads to make her second Olympics appearance. When asked to draw a comparison between her in 2021 and now, Chiles told Olympics.com, “I feel that Jordan in 2021 was still known as the underdog, was still known as ‘Oh, she’s up-and-coming.” So, what’s next for the Olympic dreamer?

Still, honest to herself and her craft, Chiles recalled her poor performance in the Tokyo qualifying stages and kept clear of repeating the same mistakes as she aims for the Summer Olympics.
